Summary
The House GOP’s new rules package aims to weaken minority party influence while advancing a pro-corporate agenda.
Key provisions include shielding the House speaker from bipartisan accountability and fast-tracking 12 GOP bills without allowing amendments, including measures to sanction the International Criminal Court (ICC) and protect fracking.
Democrats, led by Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.), criticized the package for ignoring economic and social issues like inflation and housing while prioritizing tax cuts for billionaires.
Republicans plan to offset these costs by slashing social programs, sparking warnings of further congressional dysfunction.
DNC needs to change how their primaries are run.
Politics aside, no way some outsider like Trump would ever win a DNC primary because of how they run them vs the RNC. I think the Dems ignore voter wishes then surprise Pikachu face when the milquetoast establishment candidates don’t get people fired up to vote.
That hasn’t always been the case, after Obama they made many changes like the “victory fund” that can be undone by a new chair.
I know you meant trump as an outsider to Republicans, but he gave so much to the DNC the Clinton’s came to his wedding. There are people just like trump giving to the DNC still. With the access trump got, he could be called a political insider for neoliberals. trump gave for decades and he isn’t the type to throw money around for no reason.
